aleJAB is a leap towards regeneration of our farming ecosystems and communities .A jump out of the lineal thinking , that questions the agro industrial paradigms production models which lead us to dissociate food production from living processes and happy society , as reality shows how everything is connected in a complex web.

aleJAB aims to restore , regenerate and heal the soils and agro systems of Iberian Peninsula and North of Africa , trough its territorial net , adapting and putting into practice in our environment Holistic Management as a framework of comprehensive management of regenerative livestock breeding .

aleJAB strives for being a guide model in regenerative livestock breeding that generates wealth (environment , social and economy) in the rural places. We work to create successful demonstrative experiences and develop trainings for decision making in the agricultural sphere and cooperative learning. Our target is to contribute in a significant way to carbon sequestration in our soils to revert climate change. We also aim to enhance other ecosystem services and sustain life in our society.
For all this , aleJAB needs your support .We want all your wishes , illusions and visions become into reality .

“Vision without action is jus a dream. Action without vision is waste of time .Vision with action may change the world. “Joel Barker.

Why this is important

The land sustains rural economies and life in them. Under climate change and degraded land ,aleJAB appears to be an integral regenerative management net of grassland and soil , that generates knowledge and shared learning.

aleJAB is a project of common interest intended for entities and people aware of land desertification and climate change , and its consequences : food security , water access ,climate refugees biodiversity loss ,…

aleJAB is a project for people who want to support an alternative model of food production working to promote a rural world in a wealthy environment.

If you walk alone you´ll go fast , if you walk together you will go further. African proverb

Team and experience

aleJAB is a non profit association that gathers a net of agents of changing rural scope.

We belong to the Savory Institute Global Net , as an Accredited Hub for Iberian Peninsula and North of Africa since December 2017.

We became an association in March 2016 , although aleJAB members have been working with regenerative grazing for quite a few years.

-Along 2017 , 17 farms were advised for implementing Holistic Management ,
13 of them in Sierra de Gata and Las Hurdes( (Mosaic Project of Extremadura University),2 farms in Guipuzkoa(decision making and grazing planning) and 2 farms in Navarra(decision making and Grazing Planning).

-We also gave more than 20 talks about regenerative livestock breeding and Holistic Management. , and 5 days of countryside meetings in demonstrative sites with local farmers.

-Emma Martinez(vocal): master in Organic Agriculture. Project engineer and adviser in Agrogestiona. With more than 20 years of experience on organic farm management , excited about building Almendrehesa Project since 2010 , an agro silvo pastoralist production( almonds, olives,lambs, aromatics, honey ,etc) , in the Spanish South East.

-Andres Jesús Fajardo ( vocal): veterinarian with experience in extensive livestock management. His work along different regions ha permitted him to tackle with the common existing problems of extensive livestock. He manages with his father several farms in Velez Blanco and Maria (Almeria) , with cereal crops , forestry and extensive sheep farming combined.

Ecological

With a vision of Planet Earth without climate change , we want to spread a land management that implies carbon sequestration. If an area of 1.000 million hectares were involved , this could go back to a pre industrial level of CO2 in the atmosphere. That is why a change of paradigm of food production distribution and consumption is needed. The whole society is required to be involved in the umbrella of the food sovereignty and in the framework of decision making with Holistic Management.
